Coiled up in the snowy moss are two golden Victorian era serpents. They adorn a pair of very wearable earrings in 14 carat gold, with green paste gems and Etruscan style ropework details. Each serpent forms an airy little knot almost in the shape of an 8, a symbol of eternity which makes perfect sense as snakes symbolised eternal love to the Victorians. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, they once most likely had back-to-front findings now with newer latch-back (or russian) closures, making them sit very safely on the earlobe.

I love how they turn their heads towards each other, creating a beautiful frame for your face as you wear them.

Available in the shop, please follow link below:

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Jenny Joseph

A Dandy Wellington and Jason Raish collaboration. 100% of proceeds donated to The FIT Black Student Illustrators Award fund. These timed editions are available for 1 week only, never to be printed again (edition size determined by final sale number). Sales open 2022 May 6th @12:00pm EST and close May 13th @12:00pm EST. www.jason-raish-illustration.myshopify.com/

$1,000 no-strings-attached awards will be given to Black student applicants displaying artistic merit and financial need graduating from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology BFA illustration program. Recipients can do as they please with the award money as there’s no one way to reach your artistic goals. Recent data from The Illustrators Survey shows that 3% of the illustration industry is Black. Our goal is to help Black students bridge the gap between graduation and professional success so they can be seen, heard, and shape the narrative of this industry they are so underrepresented in.

If you want to make an individual donation please go to www.fitnyc.edu/give and be sure to use the drop down menu to select the Black Student Illustrators Award. There is an option to type in a custom donation amount and it is a 501(c)(3) organization.All the accounting and final amount of proceeds will be transparently and publicly shown and the final number of prints in the edition announced.

I continued my Croquet and Ink series and created 2 illustrations exclusively for this fundraiser. This series takes the stuffy, conservative, homogenous nature of vintage high fashion and sets it alongside the rebellious self expression of tattoos (Japanese Ukiyo-e inspired). Add the historically upper crust game of croquet and you’ve got Croquet and Ink. As Dandy Wellington says: Vintage Style NOT Vintage Values. This time I illustrated the man himself and he styled the outfits as well.

In the summer of 2020 I found myself feeling paralyzed and useless during the renewed social justice movement and wanted to do something. Dandy Wellington and I have known each other for a few years and when he issued his #BlackApparelArts challenge I thought maybe the best thing I can do as an illustrator is fundraise with my art. I had just started teaching at FIT (my alma mater), we got together, ruminated, slapped our knees and said, this whole thing was born of illustration why don’t we get hyper-local and and support Black illustration students at FIT! We got to work and months later here we are.

The fund was created under the FIT Foundation 501(c)(3) charitable giving arm. We've partnered with FIT's own PrintFX print lab for the 12x18” Epson giclée 192 g/m matte archival prints to be signed and numbered. I've also partnered with Framebridge to provide framing. I personally use them a lot and make no money from this, I just want people to have a nice time and alleviate the hassle of getting things framed. Proceeds from Framebridge (which is the 10% discount they give me) will be donated, 100% of print proceeds will be donated. For Prints: Save on shipping when you order two or more. For Frames: Free shipping provided by Framebridge when you buy a frame. I ship them the signed print, they frame it and ship it to you. Please allow 4-6 weeks for shipping as it's just me packing and shipping orders, on top of Framebridge's processing time.

Purchasers and donors are encouraged to leave a comment/note/encouragement at the checkout screen for the future recipients of this award and I will make sure they receive them. Hopefully this initiative is a start to diversifying the illustration industry and getting some great art for your walls at the same time!
